A self-reflective statement of methodology in which John Cage examines the central issues of his work: Interdeterminacy, variable structure, nonunderstanding,contingency....Written in his characteristic mesostic form of linked lines of prose poetry. Finished shorty before Cage's death in 1992, it is a superb introduction andsummary statement on his life's work. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
